Amethyst Bracelets

The stone almost every customer already wants, in a colour that has to be seen to be judged.

Amethyst is violet quartz, and it is the stone most likely to already be on your customer's list before they walk in. That makes it the anchor of a display rather than a novelty — the line that pays the rent while the interesting stones sell.

Grade turns on colour, not size: how deep the violet runs and how evenly it sits across the strand. A bead showing a pale band next to a dark band is natural and common; a strand where every bead reads the same depth is what buyers pay a premium for.

Buying notes

What changes the price in this stone.

Read these before comparing our quote with a cheaper one — the difference is usually one of these three points.

Colour zoning is normal, not a fault

Natural amethyst often shows lighter and darker bands inside the same bead. Judge a strand by how even it looks at arm's length, not by a single bead under magnification.

Amethyst fades in strong sunlight

Prolonged direct sun can bleach the colour over months. That matters for a shop window display more than for a customer's wrist — worth telling your buyer if they plan a sunny window.

Pale lots photograph well

Pale amethyst looks richer on screen than in the hand. Ask for a daylight photo on white before agreeing a price on a large pale lot.

Specification

Standard build for every line.

Any of these can be changed per order. Changes are quoted, not assumed.

Treatment and documentation are confirmed per lot. Tell us what your market requires and it is included in the quote rather than added later.

Questions

Asked before most first orders.

Is your amethyst natural?

We supply natural amethyst and confirm the treatment status of the specific lot on request. We do not describe a lot as untreated without that being confirmed for that lot.

Which grade sells best?

For gift ranges, A at 8 mm moves fastest because the price sits in the impulse band. For a counter where customers compare strands, 3A at 10 mm is easier to sell without a photo.

Can I mix sizes in one order?

Yes. Mixed lines are quoted per SKU and per quantity, so send the size and grade split you want.
